Exploratorium Automata Finished

Exploratorium Automata Finished

Another automata rolls off the production line. When I was watching the video I relised that the paper packing material spilling out from the wooden crate gave the impression of a birds nest. This lead me to think abourt birds that collect things to take back to their nest. So it could appear that the Robo Bird has collected all the little electrical devices and positioned them around himself.

I think that the gear wheels and printed circuits work well together and that the apperance of the bird illustrate the ethos of tinkering.
